N. SEAT AND BACK UPHOLSTERY
1. Replace worn or torn fabric of seat and seat back as soon as you
can. If you fail to do so, the seat or seat back may fail.
2. Sling fabric will weaken with age and use. Look for fraying, thin
spots, or stretching of fabrics especially at edges and seams.
3. "Dropping down" into your chair will weaken fabric and result in
the need to inspect and replace the seat more often.
4. Be aware that laundering or excess moisture will reduce the flame
retardation qualities of the fabric.
If you fail to heed these warnings damage to your chair, a fall, tip-over or
loss of control may occur and cause severe injury to the rider or others.
O. BACKREST TENSION ADJUSTABLE
The Tension Adjustable Backrest is a versatile back intended to replace
standard wheelchair back upholstery. It is designed to provide simple, com-
fortable and effective support to help maximize function and increase seat-
ing tolerance. In addition, it is lightweight, durable, and easy to use.
Sunrise Medical recommends that a clinician such as a doctor or therapist
experienced in seating and positioning be consulted to determine if the
Backrest Tension Adjustable is appropriate. Backs systems should only be
installed by an authorized Sunrise Medical supplier.

resulting in injury.
Always assess for the potential need for anti-tippers to be added to the
wheelchair to help increase the stability.
Do not use the Backrest Tension Adjustable to push or lift the wheelchair.
Improper use may cause the back to unexpectedly detach from the wheel-
